Bread and Butter

About Bread and Butter

"Bread and Butter" is a 1964 song by The Newbeats. Written by Larry Parks and Jay Turnbow, "Bread and Butter" was the group's first and most popular hit. "Bread and Butter" served as The Newbeats' demo in an effort to obtain a recording contract with Hickory Records. They were then asked to formally record the track for the label. The opening two-chord piano riff and the lead falsetto singing voice of Larry Henley are notable features of the song. Soon the song was sampled in the Dickie Goodman novelty song "Presidential Interview (Flying Saucer '64)". "Bread and Butter" was the inspiration for the advertising jingle of Schmidt Baking Company used in the 1970s and 1980s; it went: "I like bread and butter, I like toast and jam, I like Schmidt's Blue Ribbon Bread, It's my favorite brand". Devo covered the song in 1986 for the soundtrack to the film 9½ Weeks, but it was not used in the film. A lyrically modified version of the song was used as the theme for the television series Baby Talk. The song features on the soundtrack to the 1998 comedy-drama film, Simon Birch, as well as in the 2004 Will Ferrell comedy, Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy. "Bread and Butter" was featured in The Brave Little Toaster Goes to Mars and in the Lizzie McGuire episode "She Said, He Said, She Said". The song has also been used as a jingle for Savacentre, Spam, Doritos, Little Chef and Quaker Rice Cakes; as well as in a 2018 television commercial for Walmart. more »

I feel like spreading butter
And he likes toast and jam
That's what his baby feeds him
He's a loving man

(Well I like spreading butter)
(I like toast and jam)
(That's what baby feeds me)
(I'm a loving man)

I feel like spreading butter
And he likes toast and jam
That's what his baby feeds him
And he's a loving man

(Well she looks like mashed potatoes)
(She don't cook t-bone steak)
(She don't feed me peanut butter)
(She knows that I could take)

He likes bread and butter
He likes toast and jam
That's what his baby feeds him
And he's a loving man

{Well I came home early one mornin'}
{And much to my surprise}
{She was eatin' chicken mcnuggets}
{With some other guy}

Their style over time has shifted between punk, art rock, post-punk, and New Wave. Their music and stage show mingle kitsch science fiction themes, deadpan surrealist humor, and mordantly satirical social commentary. Their often discordant pop songs feature unusual synthetic instrumentation and time signatures that have proven influ… more »
